Which We Rise 10 Remark,

We desire to caution correspondents
IN regard to being too personal in their
letters. If the personal item be of a
friendly nature--a joke or something of
the kind--thats all right. It's not well
come task when newspaper, even in
fighting its own battles, finds it necessary
to attack an opponent. But the one crit
icised knows the source of the criticism,
and the papers columns are open to him in
reply. Getting even with an enemy over
an assumed name is not matter of inter
est to the readers of Il newspaper; neither
is il fair. We want to print all our cor
respondents send IN, if posslb bic, and have
generally done go but we shall draw the
line at personal abuse. Be sarcastic if
occasion requires +; but don't call hard
names Skip the parliamentary lam
guage;" it availeth nothing. No one
was eyer injured IN public estimation by
witless invective. 1t don't make any diff.
ference whether the citizen attacked by a
correspondent is the RECORDS friend or
foe, the attacks cannot go in. The Off
cial acts of public servant are proper
subject for comment; so is anything done
By g private citizen against the public
welfare, or any act of extreme cruelty or
phenomenal meanness. But sign your
own name to it, and always be sure that
the charge is true, and able to wrestle sue
cessfully with libel suit. Perhaps 1t
would be better to 80 and abuse your en-
emy to his face. If your physical supe-
uor he will most likely wipe the buffalo
grass with you if not, he might shoot
the top of your head of. But either re-
suit is preferable to doing up your neigh
Dor under nom de plume. We shall
eliminate all such attacks in future. A
publisher is bound-personally, legally,
and morally--by the expression of his
correspondents, and those writing for a
newspaper should always remember it.
If you are pleased or displeased with the
public acts of an official, from president
to constable, and want to make it known,
write to your county papers. They will
gladly publish it. That's what they re
here for. But don't attack a neighbor
from the ambush of concealed name.
A good way for correspondent to do
if he must 1nnih,late an enemy by the lit.
erary method, is to write then lay it
aside for week or two to cool before
sending it in for publication. The
chances are that at the expiration of that
period he won't want it published.
The sermon is ended. Will the choir
please tackle the Doxology?

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.-THE rear OF
the parade was brought up by the Grand
Army af the Republic and as each com
pany passed In front of the stand its
commander gave a salute which was
gracefully recognized by the president.
The appearance of the veterans, some on
crutches and all bearing on their visages
the unerring mark Of time, seemed to
arouse a sentiment among the spectators
which the preceding youthful looking
militia failed to produce. The veterans
q seen service while their predecessors
In the line OF march wanted to see. Dur
ing the tim the Grand Army wal pass
ing the president remained standing
with his head uncovered.
The order issued by the department
commander, 6. a. r., that only post
commanders should salute was not strict
ly adhered to. Instead of walking fac
Ing ahead and covered as ordered, many
of the rank and file passed the stand with
uncovered heads, and when Garfield post
No. 4, OF Newark, came up to the front
ranks turned face about" and sent up
a rousing cheer for the president which
he gracefully acknowledged. The cheer
was taken up by the crowd and carried
to the echo. 1t was 2:45 o'clock when
the last OF the parade had passed the
stand and the presidential party descend
ed and walked to the Lafayette hotel,
half q square distant. They walked boz
tween double columns of the city troops
drawn up as An escort. There was q con-
tinual round OF cheering as they walked
along, to which the president responded
by removing his hat.

New York, Sept. 17.-President Beck
man, Of the board OF aldermen, wrote
President Cleveland September IL, en-
pressing regret that the invitation to
Mrs. Cleveland to present certain flags
to the New York fremen had been con
strued by some part Of the public as inn
plying an effront to the. president mas
much as he was not included in the invi-
tation. Mr.. Beekman assured the presi-
dent that the aldermen had too high a
respect for him, personally and officially,
to Intentionally commit such a breach OF
etiquette.
The president replied September is,
that Mrs. Cleveland and himself had
been annoyed by what had seemed a de-
termination in soh-A quarters to lend to
Mrs. Cleyeland's defamation q signii-
canoe. The question presented to Mrs.
Cleveland was whether she was willing
to assume such q public role entirely in
dependent OF her husband and not as an
adjunct or incident to something he was
to do. Her Judgment and feeling were
against Is and she declined the invita-
ton
II am very glad she did, concludes
the president, because II the plain
meaning of her declination is distorted.

and the members OF her grand fire de-
partment should be in the least disap-
pointed ,ia4&

Triangular course Of thirty-eight miles.
The Volunteer had the best OF the race
almost throughout, except during the
run OF ten miles to leeward, when the
Mayhower beat her opponent. The ont
come OF the race makes the Volunteer the
defender of the cup. The Thistle was
out with the two racers, but she was not
given a chance to display her speed until
after the first half of the race, when she
was evidently sailed for all she was worth
with a foul bottom and was thorougly
ontsailed by both the Mayiower and the.
Volunteer. The official time liz as follows:

Then they pointed for the Jersey coast.
The Thistle hauled down her topsail and

The Volunteer SO FAR had out pointed
and out footed her rivals. Her run home
showed that she was even capable of do

yet she left her sister and third cousin SO
